Admittedly though the original specification does leave more room for
interpretation than the updated one:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.4.9


Good to see that those things are more strictly defined (and better explained)
in the newer RFCs/drafts. That makes it easier for us when reporting RFC
violations to our beloved vendors.
